Record Keeping:

In keeping with standards of professional practice, I will keep brief records of your sessions, phone calls, emails or inquiries. These records are kept to ensure a direction to your sessions and continuity in service. Your personal information will be collected, used and stored as necessary to ensure the provision of high-quality services and in accordance with the requirements of relevant privacy laws. All case notes are kept secure and confidential in a locked file cabinet, on a secure computer which requires a password for access, or on Jane which requires a password for access. They will not be shared except with respect to the limits to confidentiality. Should you wish to have your records released, you are required to sign a release of information, which specifies what information is to be released, and to whom. If you have any questions about your records and privacy please contact me- Kelsey Feinstein.

Although your record remains the property of Kelsey Feinstein Counselling, you understand that you have the right to access the personal information complied pertaining to your information by submitting a written request.

Client files are stored for 10 years (10 years following the 18th birthday if the client is under the age of 18).
